Cedar Ballpoint Pen- About The Timber
There are many species of Cedar, probably the best known is Western Red Cedar. The heartwood reddish to pinkish brown, often with random streaks and bands of darker red/brown areas. It has narrow sapwood, which is pale yellowish white, and isn’t always sharply defined from the heartwood. Has a straight grain and a medium to coarse texture. It is easy to work with both hand or machine tools, though it dents and scratches very easily due to its softness it also finishes well.
Its uses include shed making, boatbuilding, boxes, crates, and musical instruments.
Every pen is unique each being made using sustainable, reclaimed, recycled timber or resin and fitted with top quality components. Once turned and sanded, to give the best possible protection it has numerous coats of finish and then a polish. To protect you pen it comes in a velvet sleeve, unless otherwise stated, full instructions on the care of the pen. You will also ge a certificate of authenticity, confirming that I personally turned the pen and the date it was constructed.
This pen body is made from timber which, being a natural material, makes each piece unique in colour and figuring. The pen may be smooth to the touch or you may be able to feel the grain, blemishes and faults in the wood under the finish. Pens that are really smooth, with no blemishes are made of plastic!
